EXPLANATORY STATEMEN T
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2018 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.
The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.peelmining.com.au .
2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
2.1 General
The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.
The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.
The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.
2.2
Voting consequences
A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.
Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.
5
2334-15/2038038_1
2.3 Previous voting results
At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.
3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR SIMON HADFIELD
3.1 General
The Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.
Mr Hadfield, who has served as a director since 20 April 2006 and was last reelected on 22 November 2016, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.
3.2 Qualifications and other material directorships
Mr Hadfield has more than 30 years’ experience managing medium and large companies including the holding of directorships at publicly-listed industrial and resource companies.
3.3 Independence
If elected the board considers that Mr Hadfield will be an independent director.
3.4 Board recommendation
The Board supports the re-election of Mr Hadfield and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
4. RESOLUTION 3 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE
4.1 General
On 7 September 2018, the Company announced that it issued 10,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.36 per Share to raise $3,600,000.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Shares ( Ratification ).
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
By ratifying this issue, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
6
2334-15/2038038_1
4.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.4
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the Ratification:
-
(b) 10,000,000 Shares were issued;
-
(c) the issue price was $0.36 per Share;
-
(d) the Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;
-
(a) the Shares were issued to existing institutional, sophisticated and strategic investors. None of these subscribers are related parties of the Company; and
-
(e) the funds raised from this issue are being used for acceleration of work programmes including further resource drilling at the Company’s 100%owned Wagga Tank prospect in Cobar, NSW.
5. RESOLUTIONS 4 TO 6 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO RELATED PARTIES
5.1 General
The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue a total of 2,000,000 Options ( Related Party Options ) to Directors of the Company as follows:
-
(i) 1,000,000 Related Party Options to Mr Rob Tyson (Resolution 4);
-
(ii) 500,000 Related Party Options to Mr Simon Hadfield (Resolution 5); and
-
(iii) 500,000 Related Party Option to Mr Graham Hardie (Resolution 6).
The Related Party Options will be issued to Messrs Tyson, Hadfield and Hardie (or their nominees) (together, the Related Parties ) on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1 of this Notice.
Resolutions 4 to 6 seek Shareholder approval for the grant of the Related Party Options to the Related Parties.
5.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(f) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(g) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
7
2334-15/2038038_1
The grant of the Related Party Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and Messrs Tyson, Hadfield and Hardie are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.
In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
As it is proposed that Related Party Options be issued to all Directors, the Directors have been unable to form quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act or ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies to these issues. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of Related Party Options to the Related Parties.
5.3 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.11)
Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of section 219 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of the Related Party Options:

However, the Board considers the grant of Related Party Options to the Related Parties is reasonable in the circumstances for the reason set out in paragraph (q);

-
(n) Mr Tyson declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 4 due to a material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be granted Related Party Options in the Company should Resolution 4 be passed. However, in respect of Resolutions 5 and 6, Mr Tyson recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolutions for the following reasons:
-
(i) the grant of Related Party Options to the Related Parties, will align the interests of the Related Parties with those of Shareholders;
-
(ii) the grant of the Related Party Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Related Parties; and
-
(iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Related Party Options upon the terms proposed;

(o) Mr Hadfield declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 5 due to a material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be granted Related Party Options in the Company should Resolution 5 be passed.

-
(q) in forming their recommendations, each Director considered the experience of each other Related Party, the current market price of Shares, the current market practices when determining the number of Related Party Options to be granted as well as the exercise price and expiry date of those Related Party Options; and
-
(r) the Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 4 to 6.
Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Related Party Options to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

SCHEDULE 2 – VALUATION OF RELATED PARTY OPTIONS
The Related Party Options to be issued to the Related Parties pursuant to Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 have been independently valued by BDO Advisory (WA) Pty Ltd.
Using the Black & Scholes option model and based on the assumptions set out below, the Related Party Options were ascribed the following value:
| Assumptions: | |
|---|---|
| Valuation date | 15 October 2018 |
| Market price of Shares (at valuation date) | _35.5_cents |
| Exercise price | 47.9 cents |
| Expiry date (length of time from issue) | 3 years |
| Risk free interest rate | 2.08% |
| Volatility (discount) | 90% |
| Indicative value per Related Party Option | _18.2_cents |
| Total Value of Related Party Options | $226,000 |
| -Rob Tyson | $182,000 |
| -Simon Hadfield | $91,000 |
| -Graham Hardie | $91,000 |
Note: The valuation noted above is not necessarily the market price that the Related Party Options could be traded at and is not automatically the market price for taxation purposes. Also as the Related Party Options are to be issued at a future date, the market price of the underlying Shares may change from that at the valuation date, resulting in a change of exercise price (refer to paragraph (b) of Schedule 3 to this Notice for further details). This would result in a change in indicative value of the Related Party Option.
